When The Ice Hits, Mirror Lake Is Open For Business!
When it comes to old Adirondack Traditions, Lake Placid has many. One of the local favorites, and something that is pretty darn unique, is our Toboggan Chute on Mirror Lake. This converted 30' Ski Jump Trestle is situated to send toboggans down the ice covered chutes and out across the frozen surface. Depending on weather conditions - and your skill as a master tobogganer - sleds can travel over 1,000 feet once they reach the frozen lake surface. It's mid-January, and The Chute is now open for business. Join us for a memorable experience... continue reading
Ahhhhh, the memories of adventure, the thoughts of bitter cold, and a chill of blistering gale force winds... that's what I think of when remember last year's climb of the Lake Placid Slide on Whiteface Mountain. This slide, while not an easy approach at all, is becoming a much more sought after line for the summit. Winter is no different for those dedicated souls wishing to get out on a mountaineering adventure. This is a trip for any outdoor journal and a must do for any fully prepared and experienced winter mountaineering enthusiasts.
Planning our trip
Starting from Route 86 at the... continue reading
Of all the things to do in Lake Placid, one of the most noteworthy would have to be the bobsled ride. There are only two tracks like this in the US, and only four in North America, all of which have the special distinction of being a past Olympic host and winter Olympic village. That said, I realize how very fortunate it is to have this small town in the Northeast that has a venue like this where Olympians and World Cup athletes have a place to train and compete and a complex that offers this very unique opportunity to guests and visitors. And, all in a beautiful alpine setting in the heart... continue reading
While all the 46 High Peaks should be experienced by everyone, there is one in particular that is a must for winter climbers, and that is Seymour. The Seward Mountains reside in the Western High Peaks Region and cover a massive expanse of tall, steep, rugged, and secluded mountains. Consisting of Seward, Donaldson, Emmons, and Seymour these mountains also boast some pretty dramatic views while hiking along the well-developed herd paths.
Seymour stands slightly less than 4100' in elevation. However, unlike the other three, Seymour stands alone in its solitude. While many have made the direct... continue reading
I've almost always been a fan of two-wheeled contraptions. I remember the very day that it started. I'm not sure how old I was when my father pushed me along for the first time on my training wheel-less bicycle — maybe 5 — but I am sure that once I realized that he had let go at some point, unbeknownst to me, I was hooked. I was RIDING.
Ah, the fun of being a kid, and the freedom that your bicycle provided…
As youngsters, my sister and I would get on our small two-wheelers, and our imaginations would take us on long adventures through foreign lands and motocross races and secret trails. Of... continue reading
I have always had the fascination with bushwhacking to some obscure peak in the middle of the wilderness to see what's up there. I have also embraced the idea of climbing all the 46er peaks via a new route, or a bushwhack route. Over the course of several years I managed to finish them off with a trek up Skylight; I was the second person to complete the feat – one behind John Winkler. So anyhow, here is a flashback of a late fall bushwhack up Tabletop Mountain with my close friend and hiking partner, Nancy.
It was a day in early November, 2008 when I contacted my friend Nancy via an email... continue reading
If you're a winter outdoor recreationist you're in for a great January in Lake Placid! We've got some awesome events spread out through the month, all but one taking place outdoors.
Extreme outdoor films will blow you away
The one event exception that's not taking place in an outdoor venue is the Banff Mountain Film Festival, which is ABOUT the great outdoors, but obviously takes place in a theater. The Lake Placid Center for the Arts plays host to the annual festival celebrating the extremists of outdoor sports around the world. After viewing the clips on the BMFF website, I for one won't... continue reading
2014 caught on film...
Lake Placid, NY in the heart of the Adirondacks is the perfect place to invent your own perfect day. Of course, that perfect day is different for everyone - luckily our options are outstanding and the setting is spectacular. Join us as we take a look back through some of our most memorable 2014 events and activities as caught on camera. What would make up your perfect day? Hiking or biking in the High Peaks?

Sure sitting on a comfy couch in a warm living room with a roaring fire in the fireplace sipping a merlot with a side of cheddar and a shrimp cocktail are fantastic, but why not move that to a mountain top? Dress warm; bring the shrimp, cheese, crackers, a thermos of Hot Cocoa for the kiddies, and maybe a second thermos of hot cocoa with a nip of peppermint schnapps for the adults. There's nothing like the experience of turning a new page on the top of an Adirondack peak at midnight. While there are many peaks to choose from in the Lake Placid Region there are certain peaks that are even... continue reading
So —— you're wondering what goes on in the Adirondacks on New Year's Eve? Well, if you weren't, I bet you are now. Gotcha.
Hike into the New Year...
Believe it or not, lots of folks take off on a hike to ring in the New Year from the summit of one of our High Peaks. Others tackle a smaller, easier destination, like Cobble Hill - right in town it's only a 30 to 45 minute hike. Check out this "spin", looking down on the village of Lake Placid and the High Peaks on a full moon night. This would be my choice for a short hike, with a return in time for dinner and celebrating. Here's a late... continue reading

I bought a pair of used Drexel bachelor's chests from a store in Georgia. They are probably from the 50's, 60's or 70's. Bought them online and had them shipped.
I love them but the drawer interiors have that sweet bad smell that clothes sometimes get when they hang too long unused in the closet. I hate that smell! Do you think there is a product that will get this out? Otherwise I will rough up the drawer interiors with sandpaper and wipe on a coat of Bartley's gel varnish. Thanks. Am posting this on furniture forum too. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it is dry in your area right now, take the draws outside and leave them in the fresh air and sunshine during the day for a few days. I would try that before doing anything more difficult. |

Graywings, it is dry and sunny (and cold) out today, so out they go on to the deck! Thanks much. Any idea what caused this odor? (Or don't I want to know?) |
Oh, it could be caused by anything from perfume to cigars to who-knows-what they stored in that thing. I recently helped my MIL start to clean out her basement, and one of the things we did was empty a dresser of lingerie, gloves and other items. We threw most everything away, but I saved a couple pairs of gloves and they have a funky sweet odor. |

In the olden days women liked to use sachets and scented drawer liners. It was popular to store scented soap in drawers to delicately scent lingerie. Or tuck a perfumed scarf in the drawer with sweaters. Mothballs were used too. The sunlight and fresh air trick will help. I've heard that storing crumpled newspapers in the drawer for a while pull out the scent. Charcoal works best. |
I think sun and fresh air work best. Good luck. |
- Posted by bigdoglover (My Page) on Sun, Dec 14, 08 at 0:06
Thanks all, was gone all day and couldn't get a thing done, but will tackle this early next week again and let you know what worked. |
I had this problem with a dresser from the 1940's. I took all the drawers out and left them in the sun all day for about a week straight. It did the trick - but it was hot summer when I did it, I don't know if it would work the same in the winter. |
- Posted by bigdoglover (My Page) on Mon, Dec 15, 08 at 7:19
Mommabird, this makes me think my dressers may be older than I thought. I might have to wait for summer. I think the Texas sun and heat would definitely bake the blank out of that odor. |

Of all things, from a free "BC Liquor Stores" magazine, Fall 2006. Now my husband's "signature dish", these are always a hit. Tonight I'm trying them as the biscuits in "biscuits and gravy". Delicious.
servings12 biscuits
Makes 12 biscuits.2 cups (480 mL) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
3/4 cup (180 mL)cold unsalted butter, cubed (I use margarine)
1 cup (240 mL) yams, roasted and mashed
1/2 cup (120 mL) pecans, finely chopped
1/3 cup (80 mL) whipping cream
1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Lightly oil a baking sheet. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir to blend. Add butter and work into flour until mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in mashed yams and pecans. Add cream and work in until soft dough is formed. Do not overmix. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half and gently pat dough into 2 rounds about 3/4 inch (2 cm) high by 7 inches (18 cm) wide. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Place wedges about 1/2 inch (1/25 cm) apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk. Bake in the centre oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.my notes

UVA Today
October 6, 2009
If you see someone strolling around Grounds this month in a fish
costume, think of your computer.
That someone is likely Karen McDowell, an information security analyst
at the University of Virginia's Information Security, Policy, and
Records Office. She spells the name of her costume "p-h-i-s-h," after
the computer "phishing" scams that seek to trick the unwary into giving
away personal information - and potentially a good portion of their
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the time of year
when McDowell breaks out the phish costume and hands out computer
security literature. But there are serious events planned as well.
A kickoff event will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Newcomb Hall
South Meeting Room, with opening remarks from state Del. Rob Bell, who
successfully sponsored a bill to strengthen Virginia's identity theft
laws. His remarks will be followed by a presentation that includes
specific suggestions for avoiding identity theft, and information about
security issues relating to social media, computer and Internet
security, and the coming rollout of an enhanced NetBadge system at U.Va.
A free buffet lunch will be available to the first 40 attendees.
Similar presentations will be held on subsequent Thursdays, at staggered
times: Oct. 15 at noon, Oct. 22 at 1 p.m., and Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. All are
scheduled for the Newcomb Hall South Meeting Room; snacks and small
prizes will be provided.
Phishing scams are a real problem on the Internet. Typically, they come
in the form of an e-mail from an apparently trusted source that prompts
the recipient to reply with personal data. Some phishing scams readily
seem to be pretty "fishy" - an e-mail from a bank that holds none of the
recipient's accounts, or the ubiquitous messages from Nigerian lawyers
or European lottery officials claiming to be holding large sums of money
for you, to be released once you provide an account number.

Our kids love the outdoors and are not afraid to get dirty or back down from a challenge like our new 40 foot climbing tower!
Whether it is their first time away from home, or a returning camper, our camp directors and counselors provide the highest levels of support and care. We want to make sure that each camper understands that they are our top priority and we are willing to move mountains for them. We have a whole group of counselors called unit leaders and their only job is to ensure that their group of campers is happy, busy and getting everything they want from camp. Unit leaders also speak to parents regularly and give them updates on their kids while at camp.

It's Electrifying: John Travolta to Depict one of the Hardest Jobs in the World in 'Life on the Line'
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on September 24, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThere are plenty of films about a variety of dangerous career paths. Firefighters, police officers, paramedics, that one where Ashton Kutcher is a Coast Guard, all branches of the military, construction crews, vigilante superheroes, lifeguards, pilots and conductors, detectives and inspectors, astronauts — they've all had their due. But one sector of selfless, high-impact human service has largely been ignored by the film industry: linemen. It doesn't matter what kind, be it those who lay railroad tracks or those who install and repair electrical, telephone or telegraph wires. They've gotten the short end of the stick. With the last film to commemorate their work premiering in 1937 (Slim the Lineman, which starred Henry Fonda), it's now up to John Travolta and a merry band of brethren that includes Kate Bosworth and Devon Sawa to right this wrongs with Life On The Line. The indie drama, directed by David Hackl (Grizzly) and written by the team of Peter Horton, Primo Brown and Dylan Scott, will follow a crew of "eccentric" electric linemen as they fight the elements and presumably each other.
'Big Sur' Trailer: On the Road Again With Kerouac
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on September 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentHot on the heels of the trailer for Kill Your Darlings comes another film about the beat generation – but it's no tale of fresh faces in a new movement, nor does it take place anywhere near ivy-covered halls. Michael Polish's Big Sur is the adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel that chronicles his life long after the young and wreckless On the Road days have settled in the past. But that doesn't mean that Kerouac (Jean-Marc Barr) has any less of an interesting life now that he's older, wiser, more accomplished – he's just restless and looking for escape. So he heads out to Big Sur in search of both peace and company, and certainly finds it in friend Neal Cassady's (Josh Lucas) mistress (Kate Bosworth). With a location like Big Sur, it's hard for your trailer not to be a stunner. However, our own Allison Loring felt that the prettiness wasn't enough to save it when she reviewed the film for Sundance earlier this year. Still, holding judgement based on the trailer alone, the film looks intriguing based on the premise that it's based on a novel from the later part of the beat movement — meaning it's not going to be as carefree or lively as something written in his younger years. We're now observing a beatnik with responsibilities, is what I'm saying. Also, I'm just a sucker for when dialogue is written in the same fashion as an author's writing style. Take a look at the […]
'Homefront' Trailer: Hillbilly James Franco Picks a Fight With Jason Statham
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 12, 2013 | Comments (2)History has proven that the only things one needs to make an entertaining movie are Jason Statham, a reason for Jason Statham to fight a bunch of goons, and a bunch of goons for Jason Statham to fight. So seeing as Homefront has even more good stuff going on in it than that, chances are it's going to be the best thing action movie fans have seen in a while. I mean, its bad guy is James Franco playing a loud-mouthed, small town meth cooker named Gator, and it's coming to us from the director of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (Gary Fleder). What more could you ask for? The basic story here is that Jason Statham is playing Jason Statham, but this time around he has a young daughter who he's moved out to the country. Once said daughter has a playground scuffle with the local mouth-breathing fat kid, and said fat kid's mother turns out to be a crazy trashball (Kate Bosworth) with ties to the would-be local drug kingpin (Franco), conflict escalates to confrontation, and then confrontation escalates to Statham putting a bunch of people's heads through plate glass windows. Click through to watch it all go down for yourself.
'And While We Were Here' Trailer: Kate Bosworth Has An Italian Affair to Remember
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 1, 2013 | Be the First To CommentSometimes, even when you're living out your life on a breathtakingly picturesque Italian island and look like Kate Bosworth, life can be hard. You can have a mean composer husband who doesn't want to spend time with you, a sense of misdirection in a foreign country and another man, sweet as he may be, trying to win your affections and sway you from your crummy marriage. As Jane (Bosworth) finds out in Kat Coiro's And While We Were Here, vacation time off the Italian coast might be the best time to let go of inhibitions and give in to making out with a cute dude. An homage to the many great romantic Italian films (I spy at least one dreamy Vespa ride), the film explores what happens when a person you meet on the street (Jamie Blackley) could turn out to be the love of your life. Though the trailer doesn't give us too much in terms of plot besides the assertion that the characters will "laugh. cry. love. live," that actually seems like all we need to know. It's Italy; they're in love.
'And While We Were Here' Poster Premiere: Misty, Water-Colored Memories With Kate Bosworth
Exclusive By Kate Erbland on July 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentSmack in the middle of a fizzy-skewing resume that includes titles like L!fe Happens and A Case of You, writer and director Kat Coiro's And While We Were Here has long occupied a space of drama and romance that doesn't seem to come with the kind of belly laughs the filmmaker's other fare spawns. Based on a set of audio tapes that Coiro made in conversation with her own grandmother, the film follows American writer Jane (Kate Bosworth) as she embarks on what should be a dreamy trip to Italy with her husband (Iddo Goldberg), one that soon becomes mired in her own attempts to adapt tapes of her grandmother's WWII-set life story for a memoir. Oh, and then there's that affair with a younger man (Jamie Blackley). It sounds like one heck of a trip, and the film's newest poster, exclusively debuting here, conveys the wistfulness and dreaminess of a journey worth taking. And While We Were Here will hit VOD on August 13th and theaters on September 13th.
Review: 'Black Rock' Plays the Mildly Dangerous Game
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on May 17, 2013 | Comments (1)Here's the thing. If your movie is going to feature two attractive women, completely nude, my first reaction shouldn't be to laugh. And my second reaction most definitely shouldn't be to hope they get dressed as soon as possible. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Black Rock is a new thriller with a fairly unusual pedigree. Katie Aselton (The League) stars and directs from a script by her traditionally light-hearted husband, Mark Duplass, and the resulting film is an occasionally successful hybrid of character piece and generic slasher. It essentially drops well-written characters into a highly traditional genre scenario, and while the combination has its benefits it also allows for more than a few issues.
Sundance 2013 Review: A Trip to 'Big Sur' Is Worth It For The Scenery, But Little Else
Movie Reviews By Allison Loring on January 22, 2013 | Comments (1)Jack Kerouac is best known for his novel "On The Road," which helped inspire the Beat generation and brought the author fast fame, but his next novel, "Big Sur," told the story of how success only made Kerouac feel more lost and trapped. Director Michael Polish attempts to bring the novel to life with Big Sur as we watch Kerouac (Jean-Marc Barr) travel to the beautiful area to secretly stay in his friend Lawrence Ferlinghetti's (Anthony Edwards) cabin and try and find some peace.
'Black Rock' Trailer Theorizes That Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus to a Deadly Degree
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs if relations between the sexes weren't strained enough already, along comes Black Rock, a new thriller from writer Mark Duplass (from everything) and director Katie Aselton (The Freebie) that looks like it's going to fan the flames further, ensuring that we get at least another year of clueless nincompoops publicly declaring their unsettling opinions about rape. The basic story follows three ladies (Aselton, Lake Bell, and Kate Bosworth) who trek out to an isolated island where they used to have camping trips when they were young; you know, to rekindle lost youth or something. When they're out there though, the island proves to not be as isolated as they thought. They happen upon a group of three very male hunters (Will Bouvier, Jay Paulson, and Anslem Richardson), one of the ladies gets a little frisky with a bearded gentleman around the campfire, and then he gets way handsy and his buddies suddenly turn super-psychotic. While it doesn't seem like this story ever reaches Straw Dogs or I Spit on Your Grave levels of grossness, things then degenerate into a battle of survival between the sexes that seems to have more than a little bit of that revenge movie/backwoods horror vibe crossed with a smidge of the Surviving the Game/Hunger Games man-being-hunted trope.
Sundance 2012 Review: 'Black Rock' Slams With Girl Power Gumption and Guts
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on January 26, 2012 | Be the First To CommentMulti-hyphenate Katie Aselton returns to Sundance with her second film, a much different outing than her gorgeous and melancholy 2010 entry, The Freebie. This time around, Aselton has ceded writing duties to her husband, Mark Duplass, and the pair have made what will likely be referred to as "Deliverance for girls" for many years to come. But Black Rock is a twisty little horror outing that perhaps shares more with The Freebie than might be obvious from first blush. Both films hinge on interpersonal relationships, the confusion of behavioral signals and perceptions, and mistakes that have far-reaching consequences. Yet, Black Rock is most certainly a thriller and a genre picture, and its wooded island setting, thumping soundtrack (with remarkably sage picks from The Kills), and grim plotline only serve to show how well Aselton can cross genres with style.
Interview: Rod Lurie's 'Straw Dogs' Loves Women and Searches for the Inner Man
Features By Jack Giroux on September 17, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWriter-director Rod Lurie was in a bit of a lose-lose situation when it came to dealing with the hardcore Straw Dogs fans. Like all remakes, if Lurie deviated too much, many critics would ask, "Why call it Straw Dogs?" If the Nothing But the Truth director stayed too faithful, then he'd get ripped on for making a carbon copy. There's a tough middle ground between those two sides, and Lurie made enough changes to try to find it. For one thing, unlike Sam Peckinpah, Rod Lurie doesn't hate women. All jokes aside, the original film earned controversy, partly because Peckinpah's depiction of his female lead was deemed misogynistic. That's not much of a surprise — Peckinpah treated that character with such disgust, as he treated all the main characters in that film with disgust. His film was about David (played in this version by James Marsden) finding his inner animal, while Lurie opted for David finding his inner man. Here's what Rod Lurie had to say about the commercial potential of a Straw Dogs remake, the fine line between David being manly and narcissistic, and Peckinpah's depiction of Amy versus his own: Note: this interview contains spoilers.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: September 16, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on September 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr feels the weight of the fall movie season. It's September, and while the kids are heading back to school, he's playing hooky with Sarah Jessica Parker chick flicks and yet another not-quite-70s-video-nasty remake. Kevin is consoled by the release of Drive, however, because Albert Brooks as a crime boss makes him chuckle. And his love for 3D and Disney meet head-on in a collision of awesomeness.
First 'Straw Dogs' Poster Won't Win Over Any Cynics…
Movie News By Jack Giroux on June 15, 2011 | Comments (3)"EVERYONE HAS A BREAKING POINT," Yeesh. There's a good poster in here, but that unneeded and silly tagline doesn't help matters much. But, really, how many taglines are genuinely good nowadays? Pretty much none. Screen Gems has just putout this lesser homage (via director Rod Lurie's twitter feed) to the original 1971 Straw Dogs poster; something that'll anger fans, but will probably work for the average filmgoers who have no idea what a Peckinpah is.
'Straw Dogs' Trailer Showcases Genericness for a Generic Audience
Movie News By Jack Giroux on May 14, 2011 | Comments (1)This Straw Dogs trailer ain't too pretty, but neither is the audience it was cut for. Screen Gems made this for all the youngin's going to see Priest (*shudders*) this weekend, and it plays well for that demographic. The audience I was with didn't look to be the types that are Peckinpah fans, a.k.a. the young and texting generation. To fans of the original and Peckinpah, yes, this is not a good trailer. But for those completely unfamiliar with the original, it works. It is completely by-the-numbers, but why wouldn't Screen Gems cut a trailer to showcase the main showdown at the end? The trailer does reveal a whole lot, except for the "big" scene, which is surprising. Rod Lurie is a solid writer/director, so I have faith that he's made something far less generic than this first glimpse implies. Also, to those complaining about the idea of having James Marsden playing a wimpy and passive man, that's ridiculous. Far more masculine men or equals to Marsden have played those characteristics greatly, even Stallone, someone that doesn't exactly have a wide "range," did it well in Cop Land. Marsden has got the chops to pull it off. Check it out for yourself:
'Total Recall' Casting Call Wants Bosworth, Kruger, Patton and Mendes on Mars
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 22, 2011 | Comments (4)So, in case you didn't know, Len Wiseman is directing a remake of Total Recall for Sony Pictures. I know what you're thinking, "Total Recall was a perfect film, how could they possibly remake it and not make something disappointing and stupid, especially in this age of homogenized action movies?" Well shut up you, we will have none of that negativity here in this casting rumors article. Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is once again free to start acting, this update has Colin Farrell signed on to step into the Hauser/Quaid dynamic. So what we need is a couple of chicks for him to knock boots with. If you recall, the Paul Verhoeven classic had four big female roles. The first is the undercover secret agent playing Quaid's doting wife. The second is his spicy space mistress Melina, who he hooks up with as part of a rebel uprising on Mars. The third is the hooker with three boobs. And the fourth is the midget hooker who blows a bunch of guys away with a machine gun. We have yet to get any word on the casting of the second two roles, but Deadline Thal has dug up some info on the process behind filling the first two.
Exclusive Debut: Damn Ninjas in 'The Warrior's Way' Trailer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 5, 2010 | Comments (4)Yes, that one shot does make The Warrior's Way look like a remake of The Birds featuring ninjas, and the rest of it looks like an effects-driven martial arts movie. Sometimes that can be a bad thing, but it honestly feels like the natural evolution from the Wire Fu movies of the past, and here it looks like everything is carefully done. Plus, it's cowboys vs ninjas. How can that go wrong? Cross your fingers for decent-looking CGI blood (or no blood at all). The film stars Geoffrey Rush, Kate Bosworth, Korean star Dong-gun Jang, and Danny Huston. What do you think?
The actors have signed up for the drama featuring young teen girls who run away to Los Angeles to do bad stuff with skaters.
Too many actresses are believing the line that you can't be too thin. Please, ladies, eat a sandwich or something at the craft services cart. Here are a special shout-out to ten skinny-ass celebs that used to really turn heads.
21 galvanizes you from frame one and never lets go. It's the most entertaining movie about Sin City in recent memory; right up there with Ocean's Thirteen.
While the actual concept and events in the film are real, they have been so gussied up with glitz and flash that we lose the essence of the drama. It tries to be as slick and as cool as an MTV music video, but it completely busts. [Grade: C]
Anyone who has ever been to Vegas knows that you get free drinks at the blackjack tables. And while this will cloud your mind and hinder you in counting cards, free drinks would be great in a movie like 21.

I was in the academe for almost 7 years and focus more on the computer architecture side rather than on OO languages. It was a big risk for me to leave the University and start to work as a systems/software developer with less memory of what i've learned back in college. Since the company is not an IT-based, I was given a chance to work on any kind of OOP. At first, I chose PHP since I've been part of some web-projects done with some colleague in my previous work but I realized then that not all projects that I will be doing in the company are server-side applications, some needs to be done in a client-side for other simple tasks. I shifted and quite enjoying the result of my work which was all migrated to Java. My experience in Java since I started upto now is less than a year, I started with JSTL/JSP/Servlet, and currently trying to work with swings.

Crops are planted, and I got some pictures. This is one of the tractors I drive. There are 3 Versatiles...I'm always in one of them, just with a different implement of destruction behind me :)
Long shot of the same tractor with the disk and rolling basket. You can't see the rolling basket-the disk and the basket hooked together are about 40' long. Interesting to turn around in a corner without running over yourself, which I HAVE done. Unfolded, its' 35' wide. Going down the road with it folded, you have to be really careful for low hanging wires..some of them WILL catch on the disk. The disk chops up the "trash" and loosens the dirt, the rolling basket smooths and firms the soil to plant. This is run ahead of the bean drill.

Neat, Brenda -- and I saw a hint of that stump/planting garden area -- lovely! for a city slicker like me this is such a treat to see.... altho I see it from the highway when driving, it is so much more personal to hear it from one who lives it! Energy & stamina take on whole new auras for me when I think of all you do. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this small part of your life with us. --Cindy |
Wow, wow wow!!!!! Just love this set of pics Brenda, thanks for doing this for us. It's like you live on a different planet than I do with our hilly, hilly terrain all covered in trees. You are amazing! I'm wildly impressed that you can drive one of those rigs. Great pic of 'the boys' too! Deanne |
Great pics! Takes me back...but we sure did not have such mammoth equipment in my youth. |
Very cool pics Brenda! You work with some BIG equipment!!! What a different world from mine, such beautiful wide open spaces. Now lets see some more pictures of the gardens, the one in your picture leaves me wanting to see more! Thanks for sharing these! Eden |

Brenda, fun to see a bit of your farming world. Things here look pretty much the same except I was amazed at the difference in the color of our fields. I have never seen a Versatile. Around here everyone has red or green. I second the vote to see more pictures of your garden. |
No Versatiles here either. Neighbor has a blue Ford or two...and there are tons of John Deere's too. Lots of antique stuff, rescued and used by the Mennonites and others. I enjoy the harvesting scene the most I think. Here everyone helps everyone else, so everyone owns different equipment. |
WOW! Brenda, thanks for posting those shots. There isn't the sort of farming around here that you guys do... the scale of it is diminished by lots. It's really fun for me see pictures of the equipment you use and read what it does. I hadn't realized how specific the equipment and attachments were. Of course, it all makes sense now. (You know, Michelle, you should get some shots, too). What a fun way to "get educated"; well, at least introduced to farming your way. What a hunky lookin' group of guys. More power! huh-huh! Do you carry toilet paper in the cab? ;) |

Gee, and it all started because I drove a forklift at work, lol! I tell Jim that's why he went out with me...figured if I could do that, I could adapt to a tractor ;) Deanne, I'll try to drive anything at least once. I have to admit though, it took 3 years before I'd even attempt to take that stuff down the road from one field to another, and I'm still very slow and cautious about it. Hi, Marian! Up until a couple of years ago, we had a John Deere A, and John Deere B and a four bottom plow hanging around. Just looking at the plow made me tired, thinking about all the acres we cover. Eden, I do love the wide open spaces. Only drawback is that it's hard for me to garden with that as a backdrop. No matter how much stuff I put in, it looks small and empty with all that space around :) You'll see what I mean when I post pics of the stump bed. Michelle, the Versatiles are real work horses. Not sure what year they are, but they plug along all day with very little trouble. There are a lot of Deeres around here, but not many Internationals or Fords. (I think the blue Fords are really pretty!) What's your soil like? Lots of clay? 'bug, I see the MOST gorgeous scenery at harvest time. Not to mention all the wildlife that's hiding in the corn. I feel sorry for the rabbits...think how scary it would be to have that giant combine come roaring up in the middle of your dinner. Tons of deer...gorgeous, desctructive beasts that they are. Chelone, um, yeah...it's like workin' with the Chippendale dancers...HA! There's even MORE stuff to drag around behind a tractor. Rototary (sp) hoe, in case the ground gets a crust on it and the plants can't pop through, anhydrous applicators for putting on nitrogen, chisel plows....they can keep you busy dragging something around for as long as you'll tolerate it, lol! OH, in the bottom of the tractor seat, there's sort of a glove box doo-dad. There's been the same roll of toilet paper in there for the six years we've farmed with these guys. Wouldn't use it on a BET! In my "lunchbox", I carry travel size kleenex, two 16 oz bottles of water, my checkbook-it has my drivers license, cash, etc., Excedrin, Midol, a travel ashtray (yeah, I know, I'm just sayin'...) and a container that's usually full of roasted almonds. I've been left in a field to starve one too many times. And, I still have room to tuck in any emergency necessities I might need. The guys find it endlessly amusing when I offer them a "cigar", LMAO! They embarrass so easily! It doesn't pay to be bashful around these clowns. Plus, they stay outta my lunch box for fear of what they might find ;) As per request, I'll get some shots of the gardens. Hopefully I can get some of the peonies before the rain beats them into the ground...NOT that I'm complaining...we need rain. I usually offer up my gorgeous peonies in return for it. That's also how I got the "stump bed". We were in need of rain really bad one year, and the storm that brought the rain that saved the crops took down the old silver maple tree. I already had a planting area around the base of it, so what the heck, ya roll with the punches, eh? Went from a shade bed to a sun bed pretty quick. |
Wow! Yes - what the others said about 'a different world.' In my front yard I can listen to cars screeching and crashing into each other on the highway just behind the trees. You can drive that enormous hunk of metal with no chance of hitting anything! Just a totally different lifestyle than most of us have. I hope you treasure it with all it's stressor and ups and downs. It's really incredible. Thanks for sharing a view into your life Brenda :-) |
Great bunch of shots, Brenda, thanks so much for taking the time to put them together. As Cynthia said, a different world from what we have around here. In my town there are still a couple of small tracts of farmland left-maybe 10 or 20 acres of what is probably considered by some to be prime residential land where people grow corn and stuff to supply a small vegetable stand. I admire the families who have held out and not sold to the plethora of developers who are no doubt lined up just waiting for a chance to turn that land into another neighborhood. Sue |

Brenda Cool shots (yes, guys included!) Thank you for sharing those with us. We are so disconnected from how our food is grown and harvested these days. Seeing things first hand is such an eye opener. I love hearing about farm life from the female perspective too (especially the cigars LOL!) Your humor always cracks me up. I agree Michelle, time to pony up a few working shots of your farm too if you have any. Mary |
Brenda, I completely forgot to mention this. But your guys look like all the guys I know and work with, too! Fishermen, boatbuilders, yachtyard guys. The only "suits" I deal with are the ones that come into the shop to drop off their boat's canvas. And they don't smell "fish-y", sweaty, or like sunscreen... ;) |

Very cool old place. Took me back to the Victorian Era. Rodger was very accomodating and unobtrusive. Breakfast was very good and the table was set in Victorain Era silver. Food was good too.

My one night stay in June was capped by: a very clean and comfortable room, a quiet neighborhood, an attentive (but not overly attentive) host, a secure space, a summer's garden, and a more than ample breakfast.

Stayed in the Betsy Ann Room while my daughter was on an overnite visit to OWU. Quiet, very comfortable, tasteful and a wonderful breakfast. Parking is on street and was challenging during the winter snow but would stay there again for sure!

That saying is so true! This is a wonderful home and Roger and Debbie are great! There is no other place within miles that will offer you what they can. I highly recommend this BnB and will be coming back for the next four years due to my son attending OWU.

1 But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish.

In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan-- |
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. | 2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. |
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. | 3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. |
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian. | 4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. |

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. |
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. | 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. |

11 Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies, | 11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin's foes against them and has spurred their enemies on. |
12 the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. | 12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |
13 Yet the people have not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought Jehovah of hosts. | 13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty. |
14 Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day. | 14 So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; |
15 The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. | 15 the elders and prominent men are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail. |
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. | 16 Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led astray. |
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. | 17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke. | 18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns, it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke. |
19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother. | 19 By the wrath of the LORD Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire; no one will spare his brother. |
20 And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: | 20 On the right they will devour, but still be hungry; on the left they will eat, but not be satisfied. Each will feed on the flesh of his own offspring: |
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. | 21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh; together they will turn against Judah. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |

Chuck Hagel disapproves of what he has evocatively called "the Jewish lobby." He may have more reason to do so if, as is rumored, President Obama nominates him to replace Leon Panetta as secretary of defense. If he is tapped by the president, Hagel is likely to face bipartisan resistance from pro-Israel groups that have long considered him a foe. For his part, Hagel has declared, "I'm not an Israeli senator," and told former State Department official Aaron David Miller disapprovingly, "the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here."
"Institutionally, AIPAC would be opposed to him," says a source active in both national security and the Jewish community, who notes that, while some groups are prohibited from taking formal positions on political nominees, AIPAC will do what it can to scuttle Hagel's confirmation if, in fact, he is nominated. Matt Brooks, the executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), tells National Review Online, "The record clearly shows that there is strong bipartisan concern with Chuck Hagel's record and his comments, and I think you will see this come to the fore if that nomination does go forward."
In fact, Jewish leaders are already expressing that concern. Several leaders from the Jewish community reportedly arrived at the president's Hanukkah party on Thursday to warn administration officials against nominating Hagel. One attendee said Hagel was "the talk of the party"; another said the controversy over his nomination would be "Susan Rice times ten." A fact sheet highlighting the positions Hagel has taken on Iran, Israel, and terrorist groups from Hamas to Hezbollah is reportedly circulating on Capitol Hill. The RJC said in a statement that nominating Hagel would be "a slap in the face for every American who is concerned about the safety of Israel."
Pro-Israel groups have long cited what they say is Hagel's record of hostility to Israel. Hagel was one of just four senators who in October 2000 abstained from signing a letter affirming America's "solidarity with Israel" as the Second Intifada intensified. He has said that support for Israel should not be automatic: At a 2007 dinner sponsored by the Arab-American Institute, Hagel told the crowd, "No relationship should ever be founded on holding hostage other relationships." In 2006, he vehemently opposed Israel's retaliation against Hezbollah in Lebanon, writing in his book America: Our Next Chapter, that "military retaliation — rightful or not — is not a political strategy that can end the threat posed by terrorist groups" and criticizing Israel for pursuing "tactical military victories" at the expense of Arab-Israeli peace. "These things make me not only uncomfortable" says Roth, "but I think he's the wrong guy for the job of defense secretary."

Love this post – you look lovely & everything is so pretty Please share the brand of your white dress – I must have this! xxx
LOVE the look! i have to still have yet to find my LWD
Many times we see leaked images of upcoming products on the web, but in most cases these images turn out to be created using Photoshop or other image editing software. Now you can judege whether an image is taken by a digital camera or is edited in Photoshop by Photoshopped Image Killer.
Yes, gorgeous, Chriselle… The LWD. I can't wear them because I feel like I get everything dirty too quickly. My compromise would be the little beige dress.
Any advice on where to get that?
Mae Lu @ thereafterish.!
Very good article. I merely discovered your site and were going to mention that I have certainly loved reading through your blog blog posts. Any way I will be returning and I hope you post yet again quickly.
Love the dress! I'm all about the LWD.
I have that necklace too, your style is so impecable I'm flattered to find that we own the same piece.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I got this card based on other reviews I read and I was so happy I chose them without ordering a sample. They are everything I wanted and more. The printing is worth every penny. I love the shimmer in the printing. The customer service was excellent and helped me several times. Be prepared to pay a little extra for postage. The paper quality was thick but not like a board. Very Elegant."
"These were absolutely beautiful and we're complimented by many. The paper was a nice weight, and thermography gave them a classy touch. My only complaint was, they wre about a quarter if an inch too tall, so I had to pay for oversized shipping. I still think the result was worth the extra few cents shipping."
"I ordered my cards after completing the design. I made further changes and nothing was too much trouble, the amendments were made without fuss. The paper quality of the invitations and the envelopes were excellent. They even came with a tissue insert for the envelope and an extra 7 cards as spares. Service was exceptional and delivery very quick Will definitely be recommending to friends and family."
"Loved the way this product looked online. Loved the color of the sample I received. I was disappointed with my final product though. The color of my invitations and RSVP cards was off. When I got the sample the color was a rich plum (which is exactly what I wanted), when the order came the color was washed out to a red wine color. It was too late to call, complain and re-order so the invitations went out as is. They are still beautiful but I am very disappointed that the color was faded."
"My fiance and I picked these invitations out because we liked the idea of thermography and the design on these invitations was so elegant. The personalization process was so easy. When the digital proof came to our email I had them make two changes that I had previously forgotten about and the new proof was ready within the hour. I got an email that the invitations had shipped and the next morning they arrived! The packaging was beautiful and even included tissue to place between the invitation and response cards. Everything was so thoughtfully put together. Overall I love this invitation and the whole process was great."

Hepatitis FAQ
What is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is a contagious liver disease that results from infection with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). It can range in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. Hepatitis C is usually spread when blood from a person infected with HCV enters the body of someone who is not infected. Today, most people become infected with HCV by sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs.
Hepatitis C can be either "acute" or "chronic." Acute Hepatitis C virus infection is a short-term illness that occurs within the first 6 months after someone is exposed to HCV. For most people, acute infection leads to chronic infection. Chronic Hepatitis C is a serious disease than can result in long-term health problems, or even death.
There are several strains (types) of hepatitis C found in the United States which are known as genotypes. Different medications have been shown to be effective in decreasing the amount of HCV in the blood, which can help to reduce liver damage from HCV.
What about Hepatitis C and HIV Co-Infection?
About one quarter of HIV-infected persons in the United States are also infected with HCV. HCV is one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease in the United States and HCV infection progresses more rapidly to liver damage in HIV-infected persons. HCV infection may also impact the course and management of HIV infection.
The UCLA CARE Center is conducting research studies for participants either mono-infected only with HCV or co-infected with HCV and HIV. These studies test to see if new drugs are helpful in reducing the amount of HCV in the blood, as well as to see how much medicine is needed to be most effective in reducing HCV.

Turning Schools into Schools
"Turning Schools into Schools"
DCPS has been closing down some schools because the system has fewer students than it used to. That's smart. And they're now seeking private sector proposals to redevelop them. In many cases that's smart. The former Hine Junior High School on the Hill is, for example, sitting on an incredibly valuable parcel of land in a transit-accessible location in one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods. I would love to see something high-density go there, but it's a pretty NIMBY community and presumably only something relatively small scale could get in. Still, that'd be all to the good.
But that's not the case for all of these sites. And while the DCPS student population has been falling, the charter school population has been growing. So surely The Washington Post is right to say that the city ought to open many of these facilities up to proposals from charter schools. But for unclear reasons, they aren't.
DC Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee has become a darling of the press and the education reform world for her proposed changes to DCPS teacher compensation schemes. But she's seemed notably uninterested in aspects of the education issue that aren't so closely identified with, well, her. Like, for example, the world of public charter schools. but charters have been doing a lot of good for DC. And one big problem charter schools have all across the country is getting physical space. Since DC actually has a bunch of vacant ex-school buildings, we have at our disposal the elegant solution of turning many of them into . . . schools.
